The BREEAM Awards 2024<\/a> were recently held, a new edition of these honors that recognize and celebrate people, projects and organizations around the world that are building the path to more sustainable buildings in design, development and management.<\/p>\n

In words of Gillian Charlesworth, CEO of BRE:<\/p>\n

Embracing science-based sustainability methodologies like BREEAM can deliver significant impacts for businesses, investors and for society as a whole. It is inspiring to see the innovative ways in which sustainability is being fostered and put front-and-centre across all our award winners and wider BREEAM scheme members.<\/em><\/p>\n

Moving forward to the future, respecting the past.<\/h4>\n

This project has been a satisfactory challenge for our team, as it integrates many of the principles and values \u200b\u200bthat ZEROCEM aims to extend. It is a work that shows that high levels of sustainability can be achieved in existing buildings while respecting their historical and architectural value through the application of innovative solutions.<\/p>\n

It is a building designed by architects Jos\u00e9 Espiau y Mu\u00f1oz for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. Designed and built at a time when there were no means or information to promote efficient and sustainable planning in the built environment.<\/span><\/p>\n
